About the Project:

Through UPAMA (Uttkrisht Parivar Niyojan adhikar Sangrakshan Matritwa Swasthya Abhiyan) project, PCI proposes to focus on developing and demonstrating critical metrics in the designated districts of Sheikhpura, Katihar, Khagaria and Patna urban PHCs, which can become models of FP and MH, which, in turn, can be showcased, replicated, and scaled up in other geographies in the future.This project seeks to optimise the use of a range of Government schemes, provisions and facility-level care around maternal health and family planning services by women and their families needing appropriate care by systematically working with Government health systems, Centres of excellence and development partner forums.
The “Systems Strengthening for Addressing Gender Based Violence for Creating a Women Friendly Ecosystem” goal aims to enhance government department systems for decision-making and responsive action on GBV. The project’s goal is to reduce the number of GBV cases in intensive geographies (measured through mid-line) and across the state. Over a period of three years, the project will also integrate MIS systems within the WCDC department for state-level report collation and evidence generation on GBV cases and responsive action. Furthermore, the project seeks to improve the capacities of women police, doctors, and judiciaries in delivering services to GBV victims, as measured by assessments during sensitization sessions.
The project objectives are to collaborate with various government departments to strengthen their response mechanisms against GBV. This will be accomplished by promoting the effective implementation of laws through GBVIMS, reviewing existing policies for GBV, and utilizing GBSS through the concerted efforts of various government bodies.
